Re: [Air-l] Re: Novelty of Internet and activity theory (Yvonne Waern)

There are various kinds of people - some want order and structure. Many of these are computer science people. Others may survive disorder and chaos because they get to meet so many interesting people. These are the so called "humanists". Unfortunately, these two kinds of people do not understand each other."East is east and west is west" (Kipling)

Flattening the variety of types of 'work' or research into only two camps (or any other very limited number) is very nearly as harmful as assuming that there is one-and-only-one kind of Internet user. elijah
